The EH022 EMC Horn combines stable gain performance and low VSWR with wide band frequency operation. The horn is single linearly polarized with excellent cross-polar discrimination. The unique horn design suppresses any possible excitation of higher order modes in the aperture and maintains a well-defined smooth radiation pattern in the direction of the boresight axis throughout the operational bandwidth.
Cryogenic Temperatures
- Fully isolated experiment space for true 4K temperatures during probing
- Cryogenic positioners to provide large travel ranges without warming up the device
- Integrated helium pot for high temperature stability of the device under test
- Fully dry cryogen-free cooler eliminates the need for expensive helium circulation systems
- Rapid cool liquid nitrogen option for faster cool down times
